Wowser! Where's the emoji for "squeals of photographer joy"?Quote:

A thought: I've noticed a few pubs with photos that were uploaded by "anonymous user" some time in 2004. As far as I can recall, these are all in a smaller format and include such things as pencil drawings, watercolours and postcards. (Maybe I'm exaggerating.) Is there any way of defining "pictureless pubs" as those with nothing since the date of these picture uploads? It's quite possible that there are only a few left that have not been superseded by more up-to-date photos, so if it looks like being a big change, just say no.
Fantastic feature,well done Dave !Quote:

Any chance of a similar feature for unreviewed pubs? :cheers:
Just moved this into a new thread to make sure more people see it.Quote:

Also, good idea with the 2004 photos, they are added into it now so number has gone up by about 130.
Certainly can, the trouble comes with loading all 16000 in one go. My computer and phone can just about handle it, but it causes a bit of a strain https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs-without-reviews/Quote:

Absolutely excellent feature and will help enormously - great job! Marginally annoying in that some of the places I have planned for this year have no photo gaps at all, but I suppose that is generally good news.
Great map, should be able to add a few soon.
Yes. I've noticed some by 'anonymous user' and several I requested to be deleted as they showed the wrong pub.Quote:

What a great feature. I have spotted a couple not far from me which i should have done by now but it has been a strange 12 months. I'll get right on it !!!
Just found one to add albeit in lockdown state from April 2020.
I will do at some point, I need to take stock of all the little bits that I've added to the site without putting a link up. I did add a link to it from this page about a week ago https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/stats/photos-counties.phpQuote:

Surely it's wrong to mock the blind. :rolleyes:Quote:

Both are now approved (the Smugglers Inn earlier when I spotted the map point correction and then checked the pub entry) and The Rockpool now.Quote:

I'm rather proud of the 20 mile radius 'clear zone' around my place, which stretches through Yeovil down to Blandford. A lot of bicycle miles went into that. Not all my work though - credit to others especially BF, Paris_Hilton, BFCZuluArmy and BobOsQuote:

I assume that these were missed due to a glitch.
Dave, if you now allowed the dwarfs to see any photos submitted by these 2 contributors, would any old missing ones suddenly appear on our to do list?
Well that's already prompted me to knock one more off, restoring Surrey to 100% and getting my first review of the year in (albeit an update of a 'holding' one). There could be hope for 2021 yet!
The Prince Alfred has one but it's of the pub's in-house mouse, with glowing eyes.
Dave, I am loving those two maps - fantastic work! :notworthy:
Not sure what has happened, but it does look like there are quite a few still trapped. Will try to figure it out.Quote:

I have lots of pub and pub sign photos but I am not clear on how you add them to the pages on here, Arthur Chappell
There should an 'Upload (Drag & Drop Files)' box visible on each pub page.Quote:

Still a few showing as not having pics: The Oak for example.Quote:

The one you mention has got quite a decent photo, but lots of them are just drawings or images from place mats - the photo of The Oak is just small format, but there are others that don't do either the pub or this site any favours.Quote:

Yes, didn't Dave say there are 130 of them? They're not errors - they're there because I asked Dave to put them there! The thing they have in common is that they are small format and can't be enlarged. I still think it's a good idea to encourage photographers to seek them out and do a more up-to-date photograph, in terms of size and definition as much as to record the building again, but it's not compulsory!Quote:

Only now because of your mention of Dave's and Conrad's 'site transformation' mentioned above did all become clear. But if there are some pubs with just the one photo and it's wrong, then it may be worth checking if in the area so that a correct photo can be taken.Quote:

Since then lots of the old photos (around 100 were mine) have been deleted.Quote:
